Book excerpt: "Surrealism is as much an intellectual movement as an artistic one. Indeed, Surrealist painting, sculpture and objects are often the physical emanation of visionary, philosophical, moral and erotic systems linerated from the constraints of reality. This brightly coloured and comprehensive survey of the creators of Surrealist art places them in the context of their time and provides a bibliographical dicitonary of the major as well as the less well-known Surrealist artists and their precursors." - book jacket.
